Do ya'll consider a few acres of heavily wooded and brush covered land an acceptable backstop. Handguns and rifles? Not considering big booming wizzbang magnums. Up to 308 of so.
Unless you know (can see) exactly where the bullet will stop, you don't have a backstop. You will never know what (or who) might be hidden by what you can't see.a few acres of heavily wooded and brush covered land ...

I'm pretty sure that kind of hostility isn't necessary. Somebody came here and asked a question, you attacked him for even thinking it.Only a complete idiotic fool fires into an area where he cannot account for his projectiles. If you have to ask such a question, it is some time for remedial safety training.
Then I suppose it would be idiotic to go hunting in the woods should one chance a miss and have a bullet fly
into the trees, right? Does everybody here only fire towards deer, etc. if there is a dirt backstop behind the animal?
Yes.
I've passed up many a shot as I couldn't be sure that there was a hard backstop behind a whitetail
-- like a tree, a downward angle into the ground or the side of a ravine. Even a solid hit that becomes
a through & through is dangerous w/o a known backstop.
